The composer, lyricist, director, concept, book writer, etc says on FB that he's just signed a deal for it to come back to London in 2017.
And this time, he says, it wont be whilst everyone is on holiday.
That must be why ticket sales were so bad: everyone really wanted to see it, but they were on holiday.
I can't wait to see where it'll go.

Can't wait to hear those incredible lyrics, such as "looking out through this bellybutton window" again! If anyone wants a good laugh, this is undoubtedly the musical to see in 2017. I wonder if Greco will be back?

I'm not sure any of the critics ever realised that the "belly button window" line is a Jimmy Hendrix quote. But frankly, that doesn't sweeten the pill.

Why he can't he just release the 'I get a Stiffy from that name' song and leave us alone!

Can you imagine the critics having to go back to re-revue it?
I wonder, has any show ever "not" had a press night? These days you don't really need press reviews, you can just print whatever some random says on Twitter.... usually West End Wilma.

As one of those randoms I should be offended but it is true. You would be mad to not have a press night and even with hot competition for nights (the broadsheets rarely cover off-west end and fringe) you can still invite publications like The Stage and even my hot mess of a blog.  I am fascinated to know which theatre is taking this on because even my review for London Theatre Direct was damning with faint praise. Plus if they don't get Greco it will be hard to market. |

It really needs Greco back just for the amusement of the curtain call with him grinning like a Cheshire cat while the rest of the cast look awkward and embarrassed at what they've just inflicted on the public.
Maybe Sarah Harding could take over as Coke can girl?

...if they don't get Greco it will be hard to market. That's possibly the single funniest line I've ever heard, and possibly the scariest too! |

It is a tragic state of affairs but do you really want someone who can actually sing singing "I GET A STIFFY FROM THAT NAME" It takes real talent to do that with a straight face.

Sadly for El Greco fans, he probably wont be available to reprise his award missing performance in Exposure, as he's joining BBC's Casualty.
Although a doctor is possibly what this show needs!
